My Family's Favorite Celebration Cookies

Image
  Experienced gluten free bakers know that cookies behave better if the dough is chilled in the refrigerator before baking, which requires a bit of planning. These cookies can be baked immediately after the dough is mixed.  They’re quick and easy to make, and it’s fun to match the color of the jimmies to the celebration at hand. Best of all, these gluten free, dairy free cookies taste like birthday cake!       Birthday Cake Cookies Gluten Free, Dairy Free   1/2 cup shortening 1/2 cup canola oil 1 1/2 cup sugar 1 egg 3 egg yolks 4 tsp vanilla extract 3 1/2 cups gluten free all purpose flour 1 tsp salt 3 Tbsp water 1/2 cup jimmies   Preheat oven to 350F.   Mix together shortening, oil, and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla, and mix until well blended. Combine flour and salt, and mix into wet ingredients. Stir in jimmies.   Scoop dough with small scoop onto parchment covered pan. Press flat with flour-dipped fork.   Bake at 350F for 9-11 minut
